Would you guys rather have -40 or +40? I would take -40 truthfully. I hate extreme heat.

Things start to go wrong at -40.

Car might not start
Pipes freeze
Roads are terrible.
Ect.

Even though i agree +40 is unbearably hot its not like I have to worry about everything in my day to day life is going to stop working.

As someone who works outside, +40.

couldn't stand Vegas or Arizona weather year round personally. At least in Canada we get all 4 seasons even if the winters are brutal.

You guys making a quilt out there?

Forecast for next week is a HIGH of minus 31. Time to get the hell out of here for a while. Mexico here we come!

Growing it. The ingenuity of Northern Canadians is epic.

Sow

verb
gerund or present participle: sowing

plant (seed) by scattering it on or in the earth.
"sow a thin layer of quilt seeds on top"

Not according to our current/rising canadian wimpification.

"How hot is too hot to work in Canada?

According to table 2 in Heat stress and strain, ACGIH® TLVs® & BEIs® booklet, the initial screening for moderate work showed that the protective TLV® should be 28.0°C while the action limit should be 25.0°C. That immediately shows that there is risk for heat stress as that is a high temperature.Jan 27, 2023"

with airconditioning and central heating it doesnt matter cause I wouldnt be going outside in either case.
I also hate 30+ temperatures

I hear ya... I almost passed out from the heat when I vacationed in Asia and it was very humid and like plus 40. Samething when I went to Los Angeles and it was scorching hot. I just don't deal with heat very well. I also don't have AC at home, so when it gets over plus 30, it is so hard to sleep at night. In this cold weather, I can sleep like a baby. And when it's really cold, you can add layers and layers until you're warm. When it's really hot, you can't really do the same.

Neither, can’t really do anything outside in either of those temps. +23 year round is my ideal temp. Note to my doggo, no walk today bud!

 

[PinSeeker]

Godspeed Edmontonians. I moved to Kelowna last year to avoid this ridiculous minus a billion crap that hits about 2-3 times every winter. It is getting very cold for Kelowna tomorrow, low of -22 overnight.

 

[Stoneman89]

-57 wind chill. Wtf!

Nothing we can't handle.

 

[MoneyGuy]

We’ve got this.

(easy to say when you have absolutely no need to leave the house)

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Stay warm and safe. Roads are ass, not leaving the house until this shit passes by

Just a reminder….the puck drop for the shirts-and-skins shinny game will be at 7 pm.

Its hard to breathe in this weather.

 

[Vagabond]

It's so cold it hurts! I'm staying home from work tomorrow..Fook -52'C with the wind plus a 80% humidity factor. Hibernation mode will be in effect!

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Anyone who says they prefer -40 to +40 is nuts in my book. I can atleast start my car in +40 without my check engine light coming on if it sits for 8 hours.

How is it the sand trucks are not out yet? Wtf are our tax dollars going?
